Define event domain details

You can define or modify the details for event domains on the Event Domain Details page.

To modify an event domain:

On the Event Domains page, in the Event Domains for Company table, click the name of the event domain you want to modify.

On the Event Domain Details page, enter the following information into the form:

Event domain details

Detail

Description

Default

Specifies whether this event domain is the default.

When selected, you cannot clear this check box; you can have only one default event domain at any time. To change your default event domain, navigate to the event domain you want to set as the default, and select its Default check box.

Name

Name of this event domain. This name identifies the event domain in a drop-down list when creating subscription domains.

Description

Brief description of the event domain.

Script Package

Identifies the package of business scripts that should be run in response to a particular event.

If you are on a multiple-company deployment, do one of the following:

To use a company-specific script package for this event domain, select the Use <Company Name> Script Package radio button, and then select the script package you want to use from the drop-down list.

To use the script package from the system's template scripts, select the Use Template Script Package radio button, and then select the template script package you want to use from the drop-down list.

When you create a new company, xMatters automatically creates the default event domains, and assigns the appropriate template script package to each new domain. Before you can assign a custom script to an event domain, you must create a company-specific set of scripts using the event domain export feature, as described in Export and import event domain information, and then import the created package back into your company. You can then modify the scripts using the xMatters Developer IDE, and specify the scripts you want to use in the Use Template Script Package field.

To manage predicates:

On the Event Domains page, click the name of the event domain for which you want to manage predicates.

On the Event Domain details page, do any of the following:

To reorder predicates, click the Reorder link above the predicates list. On the Order Event Domain Predicates page, select a predicate in the list and then click Move Up or Move Down. When you are satisfied with your changes, click Save.

To remove predicates from the list, select the check box next to the predicates you want to remove, and then click Remove Selected.

To edit a predicate’s details, click the name of the predicate you want to edit. On the Event Domain Predicates page, retype the predicate name or select or clear the Important check box. Note that you cannot change a predicate’s type; you must delete the predicate and create it again. Click Save to apply the changes and return to the event domain details.

Click Save.

The predicate order on the Event Domain Details page affects the order in which predicates flagged as “Important” are listed in the Event Activity Report, as explained in Define predicates.
